    I took my car to have the oil changed today. Fresh Amsoil change at a little over 3k miles.

    Fresh oil = clean and happy motor.

    My car looks great! I truly appreciate Dave's obsessive compulsive disorder when it comes to detailing my car. The best part of moving to Philly is being closer to Helix and Ainge!

    Wolfpack fan, huh?
    I just finished packing the Mini. Heading out in a few minutes to Asheville. If the stars align and the weather holds I might get out to the Dragon for a couple of runs. Just have to wait and see what my GF has planned. This'll be my longest run since all my suspension mods, so I'll see how they shake out too. Y'all have a nice weekend.

    It was probably clean before you washed it. :crazy:

    I drove my car to the UPS store to drop off a package. I stopped for beer on the way home. Then back to the garage (no carpet). Yep, another big day for my MINI. Yawn.

    My 16 Countryman is still in the body shop, they have escalated the repair to needing a new bonnet, we shall see. :(

    Drove the 11 around a bit to get the pup from Doggy Day care, will do a clean up/spiff with Hydro on Sunday when I get gas in the 11. :)

    Sadly I wait....

    I gave Jeeves/Bertie/Winston (undecided on name still) a Techron Complete gas treatment down the filler tube along with a full tank of premium. That is the gas treatment recommend, right?

    Techron is the stuff! I put half a bottle of Techron in my tank, when I fill up at the local ethanol free gas station.

    Otherwise, I just fill up at gas stations that advertise detergent gasoline.

    Started last night with a bath with Dawn soap. Then tucked it away for the night.

    [​IMG]

    Woke up this morning and clayed, polished, and waxed her up.

    [​IMG]

    Managed to finish the polishing before I lost the morning shade.

    Then moved her into the garage and waxed her by hand.

    [​IMG]

    Got 3.5 "sides" done before I had to spin it around to finish the passenger side and roof.

    [​IMG]

    The garage ain't the biggest... but it works.

    Bill's car looks GREAT.
    I just can't care how dirty my car is anymore. I think I've gone Full Track Retard.

    I did this...
    E2ACD8AD-B1AA-48FC-B39E-E580292444C4_zps41f29mxf.jpg

    GP2 diffusers, on a first gen car, with battery box intact, and a dual-sided exhaust. Bam. One helluva lotta work.
